The afternoon wore on, each hour marked by a heavier pressure of the wind and an increasing height to the seas, which, at first just lapping at the rail, now lifted up and washed across the deck. The boat rolled somewhat, but not to add to his discomfort or that of those below; and there were no loose articles on deck to be washed overboard.
Peacefully they rode at their moorings, the water lapping gently at their steel sides, but, as we steamed past, on more than one of them, and especially the grim Tiger, I saw the marks of the Jutland battle in dinted plate, scarred funnel and superstructure, taken when for hours on end the dauntless six withstood the might of the German fleet.
"Fetch a grim, Sin Sin," he cried. "I'll never get out if I don't jump to it." Sin Sin Wa took the lantern from the counter and followed. Opening a door at the further end of the place, he set the lantern at the head of three descending wooden steps discovered. With the opening of the door the sound of lapping water had grown perceptibly louder.
When the dark green water reached her, and the lapping wavelets swished up over the hem of her dress, she lifted her head and a sudden strange smile flashed over her face. Perhaps the kelpy understood it. The Way of the Winning of Anne Jerome Irving had been courting Anne Stockard for fifteen years.
"But there seems to be a way up to a shelf of rock, father," I said; "close there by the point." "Ah!" he cried. "But no higher." "Never mind," he said sharply. "Go on first. Quick!" It was quite necessary to be quick, for the water was already lapping among the stones at the foot of the chink and mounting fast. "Yes, I see," said my father. "There! Lose no time. Up with you, Uggleston.
The friends were standing where the Catskill hills lay before them in echelon towards the river, the ridges lapping over each other and receding in the distance, a gradation of lines most artistically drawn, still further refined by shades of violet, which always have the effect upon the contemplative mind of either religious exaltation or the kindling of a sentiment which is in the young akin to the emotion of love.
The lapping of waves grew louder as he pushed his way through the trees, and a moment later he narrowly escaped plunging into the waters of the shimmering little bay. The coast was semicircular in shape, rising high and black to his left, running low and green to his right.
And answer made the bold Sir Bedivere: 'I heard the water lapping on the crag, And the long ripple washing in the reeds. To whom replied King Arthur, much in wrath: 'Ah, miserable and unkind, untrue, Unknightly, traitor-hearted! Woe is me! Authority forgets a dying king."
Then oars, boat-hook, and ropes were laid in, and the pair seated themselves in the darkness, to begin discussing their much-needed meal, listening the while to the whispering and lapping of the water, Aleck thinking anxiously of how uneasy his uncle would be. "How soon shall we be able to start, Tom?" he said. There was a strange sound which made Aleck start. "What?" he cried.
At the end of the grove, half a dozen broad stone steps dip down to a tiny harbour which is carpeted on the surface with lily pads. The steps are worn by the lapping waves of fifty years, and are grown over with slippery, slimy water weeds. The world was just stirring from its afternoon siesta, when the Farfalla dropped her yellow sails and floated into the shady little harbour.
